It was a year of fire.... ...in that I´m most likely going to burn or destroy some of the worst rpgs I´ve been unable to sell because of how unknown and generically lovely they are. ...and a Babylon 5 quote =)

To Answer Gumslinger's question from last thread, book wise what you want is "The Dying Earth" by Jack Vance. Adventure Time is the good D&D cartoon but it's not classic and also very goofball so y'know.

My current GM wants to run Numenera when our 4e game wraps in a few months. Is there a Numenera/Cypher system thread I just didn't spot in the past couple pages? I'd like to know what issues and suck-traps to watch out for.

It's less imaginative then it might have initially looked, and you wanna be the wizard, which is the only class actually made to interact with the setting.

I'm gonna actually run some poo poo this year, starting with a few playtest sessions of Kamigakari. So far, so good (except for my plot, which was basically  IDOL TURF WARS ).

I went from like four games to zero games and I'm salty as hell about it. Bright side, buddy wants to run Ravenloft with a few minor houserules for 2nd edition, which is the only edition of D&D I've never played. AVE GYGAX

I'd like to know what issues and suck-traps to watch out for. There's not really any "trap" options, but the fighter class will always be boringer and have less out-of-combat utility than the wizard class. The third class skims most of its abilities from both the fighter and wizard class, so it's half boring, I guess.

I'd like to know what issues and suck-traps to watch out for. Don't play the Fighter, and probably don't play the Rogue. It's a Monte Cook game, so Wizards are the best. An unavoidable issue is the basic design of the game: 1. your stat points are your hit points, and also your extra-effort points 2. at any time, the GM can introduce a complication to try and gently caress you over. You can either accept this and receive XP in exchange, or spend XP to block the GM. Since you also need XP to, you know, level up, this can get really annoying really quickly 3. if you ever roll a 1, you get to suffer a complication without the GM needing to reward you with any XP for it, and without being able to spend XP to block it. The "solution" is to never make any rolls, either by simply making poo poo happen (which is why Wizards rule), or by driving down the difficulty to 0 so you auto-succeed. Even the latter is going to have its share of issues, given that applying extra effort to drive down the difficulty further will cost you your stat points (see point 1). ________ Mark Rein  Hagen :https://twitter.com/austin_walker/status/948034579272740864 gradenko_2000 fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Jan 2, 2018 |
